Overview

Mission

Perform high quality choral masterworks for the public.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ticket Sales revenue from four performances (2 in December and 2 in the Spring) contributed to a sound financial year, increasing by approximately 13% over the previous year. Program Ad support from businesses, stores and organizations in the local community increased by 17%. Con Brio received grant support from the State of Connecticut, Department of Economic and Community Development, Connecticut Humanities Office of the Arts, as well as grant support from a private Foundation and via the Community Investment Program of a local Bank.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
